Bev Baldwin Obituary
Beverly Ann Baldwin born June 23, 1939, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and beloved friend, peacefully departed this world surrounded by her loving family February 8, 2026. Her journey came to a gentle close, leaving behind a legacy rich in love, kindness, and joyful memories.
Born to loving parents, Harold and Freda Manbevers, who laid the foundation for her nurturing spirit, Beverly was preceded in death by her devoted husband, "Joe" Baldwin, her youngest son Emmer Baldwin, her brother "Bud" Manbevers, her sister Linda Manbevers, her grandson Jason Pugh, and her son-in-law Bobby Notestone.
Beverly is survived by her dearest friend, Earl John Scott, her sons, Kenny (Linda) Baldwin, Don (Deb) Baldwin, and Dan Baldwin. Her daughters, Cindy (Chris) Gobel and Beth Notestone, and her dearest cousin Dave Bozman, all of whom continue to carry her spirit in their hearts. She was blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, each of whom she adored and cherished.
A true matriarch, Beverly devoted her life to caring for her family, ensuring they felt loved and supported. Her passion for sewing brought warmth to their homes, while her love of gardening filled their lives with beauty and the fresh, vibrant flavors of homegrown veggies. Beverly's cooking skills were legendary, with family gatherings often centered around her delicious creations, where the aroma of home-cooked meals filled the air and brought everyone together.
Beverly was a shining light in the lives she touched, an unwavering support to her family, and a beacon of warmth and love to her friends. She will be remembered not only for her nurturing nature but also for her indomitable spirit-a spark that ignited joy and laughter wherever she went.
As we honor Beverly's remarkable life, let us carry forward her legacy of love and kindness, remembering the powerful impact she had on each of us. She may have left this world, but her spirit will forever remain in our hearts. May she rest in peace, surrounded by the love she so freely gave throughout her life.
